Weather in October
Temperature
With the advent of October, Laguna Salada experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), mirroring a close resemblance to the previous month. Throughout October, the temperature falls to an average low of 21.9°C (71.4°F).Heat index
October's mean heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
